Asset Mapping

ShareMelbourne partners with Social Surplus to run asset mapping workshops to activate local sharing communities across Melbourne.

Asset mapping is an engagement process for revealing the strengths of everyday people and makes community assets more visible. Higher awareness of shared assets can lead to more collaborations between groups and projects and new ideas to fill in the gaps. Asset maps show who’s available to organise, what resources can be connected and make us better sharing city advocates.
